One More Time

Chapter 21

"T-taylor?" Niall asked shocked. I was just about ready to burst into tears.

"Niall it wasnt me." i stood and walked towards him.

"Yes it was. I had to push you off!" Harry protested. I started crying.

"Niall I swear it wasn't." He looked hurt. I tried to reach to him but he pushed me off. "Niall!" I cried again. "please." I fell on my bed as I saw him leave and the door close. Harry walked over to me and sat next to me. I could tell he was smirking without even looking at him. He slowly snaked his arms around my waist. I pushed him off immediately. I pushed him off me and Niall's bed. "Just get out." I started shoving him out the door. I finally pushed him out and slammed the door behind him. I ran the shower water to heat up and slowly took my suit off.

I stepped into the warm water letting it cascade down my back. I started washing the salt water out of my hair.

As I finished I dried off and put denim shorts and a hot pink shirt. I walked down to the beach to be alone. I wasn't sure if Niall would come any more. I slowly sang his songs to myself. Slowly and softly singing "You & I" under my breath. Drawing pictures in the sand. I wish the lyrics of the song were true to him. I thought they were true to me. But i sat alone watching the sunset on my own. "We dont wanna be like them. We can make it till the end. Nothing could come between... " i started softly crying.

I didn't turn around but i heard the sand shuffling behind me. I could tell someone was coming. I prayed it wasn't Harry but i hoped it was Niall. But then i turned to my left to see Liam sitting next to me. "What do you want?" i wiped my tears.

"I want to know whats the matter." he informed me.

"Liam-"

"Taylor, come on. We're friends right?"

"Yeah of course." I replied.

"Then tell me what's wrong."

"If Niall sees us.." I began

"He knows I wouldn't do anything to hurt either of you."

"Unlike some people." I mumbled.

"Taylor what's going on." He said.

"Harry.. Uh. Harry kissed me."

"What?!" He sat up straighter. I nodded. "And... What about you."

"I pushed him off I kept trying to push him off. But he came into my room and as I was trying to get him off.. Niall walked in."

"So Niall thinks it's your fault?"

"That's what it looks like,"

"Listen to me." He said, taking my hand. "Niall is a very good person. And he loves you. If you can show him or assure him that you love him to then it won't take him long to believe you."

"Thank you." I said.

"No problem kiddo. I'm gonna go inside. Come in when you're ready." He rubbed my back, got up, and left.

I slowly sang more songs to myself. I took a deep breath and let it out, made sure no more tears were falling and I went Inside slowly. I walked to me and Niall's room and put on small green shorts for bed and a light blue t-shirt. I walked down to where everyone else was in the living room watching TV.

I kinda stood there behind the couch not seeing Harry anywhere so I sighed in relief. But I felt arms wrap around me. I knew it was Harry because Niall was sitting in a chair by the TV. I turned around and shoved him off. "Fuck off." I growled as he walked away. I had Niall's eye contact for two seconds but he looked away. If that couldn't prove to him it wasn't me I don't know what could. I sat on the couch next to Kelsey.

When it ended we all went upstairs to our rooms. Everyone to their own room except kelsey with Louis, And Niall with me. I hope. I walked into our room and into the bathroom. Washing my face and brushing my teeth. I walked out and slowly got into bed. Niall hadn't come in the room yet. I was at the side facing the gigantic window and balcony. But i could still see the light from the hallway pour into the room. I turned slightly to see him. Niall was standing there but he looked like he had been crying. I sat up in bed. "Niall?"

"What." He said, harshly.

"I um.. Can we talk about this?" I asked as I got out of bed on the side closed to him.

"Talk about you kissing my best friend? Sure Taylor I'd love to." He snapped. I was immediately hurt I could feel my blood running colder.

"Niall." I said, both offended and angry.

"What Taylor do you expect me to be happy for you?"

"No I'm trying to explain to you-"

"How you decided to drop me for Harry? No thanks I don't want to know."

"Niall that's not what happened!" I finally yelled at him, trying to get this out.

"Then tell me what happened!"

"He kissed me! Niall today at the beach he kissed me. When I went to get iced tea, he followed me, and he kissed me. When I got back up here he came with me, and he. Kissed. Me."

"Taylor I don't want to fucking hear about how many times you kissed him-"

"Did you hear me once say I kissed him? I told you. He kissed me!"

"That's not at all what it looked like!"

"It's exactly what happened. I fell on the bed when I pushed him off because he wouldn't let me go! He lied to you-"

"He's my best friend."

"I'm your girlfriend."

"So what." That crossed the line.

"So what Niall! So what, I don't know? Maybe you've been my everything, for over a year now! What is wrong with you?"

"Wrong with me?? You're the one kissing someone else, and you're trying to use our relationship against me? What's wrong with me? Nothing! I'm not the one breaking the others trust by kissing their best friend."

"Niall he kissed me!"

"Sure he did how long do you expect me to believe that."

"I expect you to trust me when I say it!"

"Taylor I'm done discussing this."

"So what are we doing?"

"What do you mean we're going to bed."

"Are we staying together!"

"Taylor."

"Is it an obscene thing to ask based on the things you've said to me tonight?"

"I don't want to talk about it Taylor!"

"Fine I'm going to bed." I snapped and got onto my side of the bed and sat down. The whole house probably heard that argument. He sat down and got into bed after pulling off his shirt. I laid down and pulled up the covers.

I didn't want to go to bed without kissing him, without telling him I love him. But this is the first time I've really had to.
